[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 659759, member: 1550"] guess what, ladies??? I just got back from my psychologist and she thinks I'm ready for EMDR. After I read about it, I'll let you know what it is...lol. Great session today where I got to talk about if I'm a good person or a bad person. She asked me who says I am a bad person. Me or somebody else. I said my entire FOO except my father. Especially my mother did and my sister and brother. She asked me if anyone else thought I was a bad person besides them. I told them no, not even my ex husband. But I told her I still feel bad and good. I asked her if I was borderline because my sister is shouting it to the heavens, and I always believe I'm something bad. She actually burst out laughing and said, "No way are you borderline. You sister can say it but it's not true." I left feeling good, with a pamphlet in my hand about EMDR. I wll read it and check it on the internet. I have skimmed over articles about it before and it had interested me. But I didn't bring it up to her. She brought it up to me. Just as I left she told me something that Ifind empowering: You own your stuff and let others own theirs. Don't own theirs too." I laughed and told her I always own everybody's stuff and make it my own. She told me that is the codependency in me. It probably is. If somebody else does something wrong, in my heart of hearts, I feel it is my fault, even if they do it to me. Anyhow, she puts things in perspective really well, much more than a plain therapist, and I am feeling very good about me right now. Sending these "feeling good" vibes to anybody reading this!!!!
